I think this is just a saying that lost its meaning. Youth is the time you don’t have to worry about much and you can live without regrets because most of your decisions don’t have real consequences (aside from the obvious ones).
Obviously to young people they don’t see it that way. In hindsight I could have done a lot more as a kid but I didn’t for fear of whatever the hell I was afraid of. Definitely not the best years though.
it also just doesn’t work at all for many people, like what if you grew up poor and couldn’t afford to do the fun carefree things? what if you had no friends? what if things that other people consider mundane made you vomit from anxiety?
